The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYP) was Washington’s first world’s fair.  It had been 12 years since the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush had brought prosperity and riches to the Pacific Northwest and the state of Washington wanted to celebrate.  The AYP was held on the campus of the University of Washington between June 1 and October 16, 1909.  It hosted more than three million visitors and tourists.
